During the ongoing ICC World Cup matches, following the scrutiny of Hyderabad’s Uppal Stadium, Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium has also faced criticism regarding the condition of seats in certain sections.
A cricket enthusiast shared an alleged photograph depicting the state of seats at Narendra Modi Stadium on his X (formerly Twitter) account. He wrote, “Hyderabad was not just one example, it’s the same in Ahmedabad for a seat worth 2k.”
In another tweet, the same individual uploaded a video showcasing the seating conditions for the audience.
Subpar seating conditions at Uppal Stadium in Hyderabad
This isn’t the initial grievance regarding seating conditions at ICC World Cup matches.
Previously, a cricket writer shared a photograph showcasing the condition of seats at Uppal Stadium on X. He remarked, “Nothing much has changed in Uppal stadium. Only some window dressing and spectator comfort still not taken care of in full.”
When certain social media users alleged that the writer had posted an outdated or fabricated photograph, he countered with another image alongside his ticket for the Pakistan vs. Australia ICC World Cup warm-up match and a video of the stadium.
